For many years, gay characters in films were doomed to die a gruesome death. Whether they were brutally murdered or a tree fell on them, death was the only logical methodology for dealing with the existence of a living, breathing onscreen homosexual.

There are still some people who prefer "unhappy endings." From the Sultan of Brunei to Scott Esk (a Tea Party Republican and member of the John Birch Society who is a GOP candidate for the Oklahoma House of Representatives), some still relish the idea of LGBT people being stoned to death.
